I. SEED AND PRODUCTION SUBSTRATE REQUIREMENTS

1. SEED VIRUS

Master and working seed viruses are produced in Specific-Pathogen-Free (SPF) embryonated eggs in seed lot system. The seed viruses must satisfy sterility, purity, safety and potency tests before they are used for vaccine production. The seed viruses are lyophilized and kept at 2 to 10°C. Seed viruses in liquid form shall be stored at –50°C or lower.

2. PRODUCTION SUBSTRATE

Embryonated eggs used throughout the production of the vaccine must be derived from SPF flocks complying with tests that appear as Appendix 1.

II. QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

1. STERILITY TEST

Final container samples should be tested for absence of bacteria, Salmonella, Mycoplasma and fungi by the methods that appear as Appendix 2. However, tests for Salmonella and Mycoplasma may be carried out on bulk samples.

2. PURITY TEST

Seedlot or bulk production samples should be tested for absence of extraneous viruses by the egg inoculation test or the chicken inoculation test or the tissue culture inoculation test, and by the test for Avian Leucosis Virus subgroups A and B using the methods that appear as Appendix 3.


3. SAFETY TEST

Final container samples should be tested by the following:

At least 10 susceptible chickens of the minimum age for which the vaccine is intended, are each inoculated with 10 doses of the vaccine by the recommended routes and observed for a minimum of 21 days. No clinical signs of Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) should be observed in any of the chickens.

4. POTENCY TEST

Seed/bulk/final container samples should be tested as follows:

At least 10 susceptible chickens of the minimum age for which the vaccine is intended, are each inoculated with 1 dose of the vaccine by the recommended routes. At least 21 days post-vaccination, the vaccinates together with 10 unvaccinated controls are challenged with virulent AE virus by the intracerebral or intramuscular route and observed for a minimum of 21 days. At least 80% of the vaccinates should survive and show no clinical signs of the disease and at least 80% of the controls should die or show clinical signs of AE.

5. VIRUS CONTENT

The vaccine should have a virus titre of not less than 102.5 EID50 per dose when tested at any time before the expiry date.

3. INACTIVATION TEST

At least 10 embryonated chickens eggs susceptible to avian encephalomyelitis (AE) virus are each inoculated with 0.2 ml of the inactivated product by the yolk sac route. The eggs are incubated for a minimum of 14 days. Brain samples are harvested from the embryos for a second passage. The inoculated eggs are examined after at least 14 days for signs of AE lesions. There should be no evidence of AE virus.

4. SAFETY TEST

Final container samples should be tested as follows:

At least 10 susceptible chickens of the minimum age for which the vaccine is intended, are each inoculated with at least 2 doses of vaccine by the recommended route and observed for a minimum of 14 days. No abnormal local or systemic reaction attributable to the vaccine should occur in any of the chickens.

5. POTENCY TEST

Bulk or final container samples should be tested as follows:

At least 10 susceptible chickens of the minimum age for which the vaccine is intended, are each inoculated with with 1 dose of the vaccine by the recommended route. At least 21 days post-vaccination, the vaccinates together with 10 unvaccinated controls are each challenged with virulent AE virus by the intracerebral route and observed for 14 days. At least 80% of the vaccinates should survive and show no clinical signs of disease and at least 80% of the controls should develop clinical signs of the disease or die.

III. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

The vaccine should comply with the General Requirements for Veterinary Vaccines that appear as Appendix 4.
